- Well I'm sorta new to the Amos list. Been lurking for a couple of weeks.
- I used to program in AMOS alot. I am a EE student and have seen assemble,
- C, Java, pascal, ... I can say that I am nowhere fluent in any of them
- anymore. I don't think I am as ood in AMOS as I was a few years ago
- either.
-
- I quickly found the limitations of the language. There was many things I
- found could not be done in AMOS. After my big Hd crash I did not
- reinstall it. I had a couple of nice games in developmetn using AMOS, but
- with the code gone and thinking of restarting I truly am going to go with
- a C. AMOS is good, but far from perfect. I can say that you can do a
- whole lot more with it in a shorter amount of time and produce some good
- programs. It is not the language that needs to be tested it is the
- programmer. In other words, the programmer makes the difference. If the
- language does everything you need in a fast an efficient manner and you
- program to your potetial then it truly doesn't matter what you program in.
- You make the difference, release quality software using AMOS and it ill
- get the respect it deserves, but mostly you will get your respect you
- deserve.
-
- If someone knocks on your programming language, instead of trash tlking
- them, show them the power of your language, and rlease some good programs
- to make them take notice. They will shut up eventually or they will be
- forgotten as they can't program anyway.
-
- Just my two cents.
